Delft Blue is one of my favourite colors,the one I have is very rich of pigment but it is hard to see before firing and I use easy to much.So I had to use a dremel to 'sand' a lot of color and unwanted textures away afterwards.

I poured some casting clay in a mold, and in the wet clay I lay the leatherhard image of a boat(and a smoke trail).On the wet clay surrounding the boat I put some ceramic glaze glue.Then I added with the slipapplicator liquid clay to the surface;And very strange textures appeared which looks a bit like crystals.

Ok I have to work this further out but I ám really amazed by the result.Rob

My pieces came out a little bleach after firing.To accent the textures and to provide more contrast I decide to do an extra wash with dark ceramic inkt.Here they are with the inkt but I have to fire the pieces again.Rob

I ám a kind of creative inventor that is the reason why I love pottery,the raw materials and glazes are a rich source for experimentation.I also have a website and like it, when you take a look at http://www.reliefs.nl
